480254 ÷ 23 
We're looking to find how many times 23 goes into 480254.

Going ahead to step 1:
23 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 23

Moving on to step 2:
The number 23 fits into 48 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 46 away from 48, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 23

On to step 3:
The number 23 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 202 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 goes into 202 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 208.0
Subtract 184 from 202 to get 18.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 185 / 23

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 185 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2088.0
Deduct 184 from 185 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 23

Let's proceed to step 6:
23 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20880.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
23 can be fit into 140 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20880.6
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
23 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20880.6
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 23, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20880.608
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
23 goes into 160 6 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20880.6086
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
23 goes into 220 9 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20880.60869
If we subtract 207 from 220, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 130 by 23, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20880.608695
Deduct 115 from 130 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 150 by 23, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20880.6086956
If we take 138 away from 150, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 23 fits into 120 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20880.60869565
Subtract 115 from 120 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final result is 20880.60869565 with a remainder of 5e-09.
